If you have Windows 7 or Vista - wrong place to install

Poser 8 installs its runtime data by default in C:UsersPublicDocumentsPoser 8 Content

That is where you have to install the content - or - use another external library. Windows Vista and Windows 7 do NOT like runtime data to be installed in Program Files (or Program Files (86).

Best thing to do is to create a new runtime on your data drive, use that runtime to install everything and then attach that runtime to Poser 8. You can do the same in later versions of Poser and never have to move the data
